This might work (but it's a tad bit hackier than working through the Article object, which would be ideal):

Disclaimer: I have not tested the above, so it may not work :/

It will work, but it doesn't need to. You're setting a redirect target to the Output Object and then killing it. If WebResponse::header delayed the call to header() it wouldn't.
If dying, the right way would be using the php functions, not its mediawiki wrappers: header( 'Location: ' . $redirectTarget->getFullURL() ); die();
